GATE – Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri

In the bustling Ginza district of Tokyo during the 21st century, a mysterious portal suddenly materializes, unleashing a horde of terrifying creatures straight out of medieval legends. Knights clad in archaic armor alongside monstrous beasts emerge, wreaking havoc and claiming countless innocent lives in what becomes infamously known as the Ginza Incident. In response, Japan’s Self-Defense Forces dispatch an elite unit through the enigmatic gateway into an unknown realm. Spearheading this mission is Yōji, a dedicated soldier with a passion for otaku culture. Upon arrival, they discover villages under siege by a fearsome dragon. Among the devastation, they encounter an elf maiden—the lone survivor of the dragon’s destruction—who allies with the team as they navigate the perilous landscapes of this fantastical world. Together, they face untold dangers while uncovering the secrets behind the gate’s existence and the forces threatening both worlds.

The alternate dimension presents a stark contrast to modern Tokyo, blending medieval aesthetics with magical elements. As the soldiers adapt to their surroundings, they employ advanced military tactics against primitive yet formidable foes. The elf girl, bearing deep scars from the dragon’s assault, provides invaluable knowledge about the realm’s politics and hidden threats. Their journey becomes a clash of civilizations, where technology meets sorcery, and survival hinges on both strategy and unexpected alliances. Through battles and diplomacy, the team strives to protect their homeland while unraveling the mysteries of this parallel universe.
